QUESTION 1
In Grade 4 Creative Arts class, the curriculum focuses on three main topics in Visual Art: Visual
Arts Skills and Techniques, Elements of Art, and Principles of Design. Here's a brief overview of
what is prescribed within each topic:
1.Visual Arts Skills and Techniques: In this topic, students will be introduced to various art
materials and tools. They will learn about the correct and safe usage of these materials, such as
pencils, paints, brushes, and scissors. Students will also be taught basic art techniques like
drawing lines, shapes, and forms, as well as colouring, shading, and blending. They will explore
different textures, patterns, and explore how to create different effects in their artwork. Through
hands-on activities and practical exercises, students will develop their technical skills in creating
visual art.
2.Elements of Art: The Elements of Art refer to the basic building blocks of visual art. Grade 4
students will be introduced to these fundamental elements, which include line, shape, form,
colour, value, texture, and space. They will learn to identify and analyse these elements in
various artworks. Students will explore how different lines can convey different moods or
emotions, how shapes and forms can create a sense of depth and perspective, and how colours
can evoke different feelings or create harmony in a composition. They will experiment with
different art materials to create artworks that effectively utilize these elements.
3.Principles of Design: The Principles of Design focus on the arrangement and organization of the
elements of art in a composition. Grade 4 students will learn about important principles such as
balance, emphasis, contrast, rhythm, and unity. They will understand how these principles
contribute to the overall visual appeal and message of an artwork. Students will explore how to
create balance by distributing visual elements evenly, how to use contrast to create interest and
highlight important elements, and how to create rhythm through repetition and variation. They
will apply these principles in their own artworks, considering the composition and arrangement
of the elements.
